S5 - Enercon EP3

Join your fellow Enercon operators

13 Nov from 12:00 to 14:50

Introduction

Our members operating the newest Enercon models have asked us to open up a user group for this turbine. We’re bringing together Enercon EP3 owners for a focused roundtable discussion to share experiences, raise critical issues, and explore solutions unique to this turbine type. Topics will include commissioning challenges, key faults and operational data insights, as well as known technical concerns like generator air gap problems, yaw system failures, and cable loop wear. We’ll also dive into servicing hurdles, retrofit options, and performance-related questions including blade issues and main bearing reliability. Join us to benchmark, learn, and collaborate with fellow operators facing similar realities.

Your moderator for this roundtable

A skilled moderator, selected from our members, will be added soon.

We will recruit a social person who is dedicated to sharing and knowledgeable in his/her field. O2O WIND usually hosts these discussions, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.

Join your Enercon peers

We have invited the 14 energy companies listed below who are collaborating within our Enercon EP3 user group, to Madrid.

They are of course interested to include more Enercon operational know-how into the group. On the Owners Roundtable 2024 we then offer the opportunity for non-members to join a session of Enercon owner-2-owner collaboration.

Enercon EP3 challenges

Are these the kind of challenges you are expected to solve for your Enercon operations?

  • Known issues to look out for as part of the commissioning handover?

  • Key Faults / Operating Data - Operational readiness and areas to look out for based on user experience with the WTG?

  • Generator air gap problems

  • Yaw system failures

  • Enercon servicing challenges

  • Retrofits for EP3 - which retrofits are available and if they are installed on the wind turbine

  • Main bearings

  • Blade issues

  • Possible underperformance – power curve issues up to 6 m/s

  • Cable loop wear - low voltage cable insulation, worn at the cable loop

  • Issues with the LPS system’s carbon brushes

Joining this discussion with your Enercon EP3 peers will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.

Your top challenge – directly included

This roundtable is based on real and current challenges held among the participants. You will have direct input on your top challenge and insights into your peer’s top challenges.

  1. Before the event - submit your top challenge.

  2. At the event - discover your peers' challenges, have input on yours and discuss solutions.

  3. After the event - receive a summary of the findings from all roundtables, providing valuable insights for all.

Once you have registered your team, each individual will receive a link to select roundtables and submit their top challenges. A dummy is shown at this link.
